He named it Prairie House and had high hopes for its success. Success did not come, and after three years, Rose was forced to close the hotel. In 1849, Rose decided to give it another try and reopened. A few years later, he changed the name of the hotel to Terre Haute House. The hotel fared better this time around thanks in part to J. Richard Beste. Beste had planned on a single evening stay with his family, but fell ill and extended their stay for nearly three months. He later wrote about his stay in his book, The Wabash: or, Adventures of an English gentleman's family in the interior of America, which helped to bring in more business. Rose, tired of the hotel business, decided to sell the hotel in 1866. The hotel had changed owners several times until it was purchased by Crawford Fairbanks in the early 1920s. The building by that point was older, and the new owners intended to demolish it to make way for a new building with luxury at the forefront. This new building was designed by architect William Earl Russ. Opening day was 6 July 1928. After several years of success, the hotel once again hit a decline. In 1959, Tony Hulman of Indianapolis Speedway fame purchased the hotel with the intent to revive it. He managed to keep it going for about a decade until the hotel closed for good in 1970. Despite years of numerous attempts from various groups to renovate the building, it was demolished in 2005. The location is now home to a Hilton Garden Inn.

Nicknamed “Offys,” Fred’s engines were extremely popular with Indy 500 drivers. It is estimated that Fred built about 150 racing engines. Offys were winners at not only The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but many other courses and races. From the time Fred debuted his designs until the late 1970s, Offys would become the engine that powered the most winning cars at Indianapolis.

(November 4, 2019) – The Board of Directors of Hulman & Company announced today that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Penske Corporation, a global transportation, automotive and motorsports leader. Penske Entertainment Corp., a subsidiary of Penske Corporation, will acquire all Hulman & Company principal operating assets, including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the NTT IndyCar Series and IMS Productions. The transaction will close following receipt of applicable government approvals and other standard conditions.

  • Official Digital Program 2019 Open-Wheels.Com 500 Mile Race
    OFFICIAL DIGITAL PROGRAM 2019 OPEN-WHEELS.COM 500 MILE RACE Welcome To the Open-Wheels.com 500 Mile Race On behalf of the staff at Open-Wheels.com, welcome to the inaugural running of the Open-Wheels.com 500 Mile Race presented by Mitchell Transmissions. After many months of planning, preparation, discussions, and excitement, we begin our first chapter in what is hopefully a storied history for our November event. My dreams, hopes, and visions for this race first began to circulate in late May, wondering what it would take to replicate (to the best of our ability) what it feels like for a driver to be part of the Indianapolis 500 in real life. To feel the pressure of qualifications, and what it means to simply make the race - not to mention the elation that one lucky competitor will enjoy upon winning the event itself. Indianapolis is about so much more than its four corners, or what happens for 200 laps within its pristine white walls. For some, it is a rousing pre-race ceremony that includes Taps, Back Home Again in Indiana, and always a memorable flyover. For others, it is the green flag that seems to take ages to finally get here - before it finally happens in the blink of an eye, and 33 daring drivers funnel into Turn 1 at over 200 miles per hour. This venue breathes tradition and honor, begging to tell the stories of its past while simutaneously waiting patiently to make new memories. This month, I hope we do just that by leaving our mark on the sim racing world and producing the most authentic, exciting, pressure-packed 500-mile race that iRacing’s proud history has ever seen.

  • Vital Express's Drake Performs the "Double" at Indy USAC Standout Competes in Menards Infiniti Pro Series Freedom 100 and Tony Hulman Classic
    Vital Express's Drake Performs the "Double" at Indy USAC Standout Competes in Menards Infiniti Pro Series Freedom 100 and Tony Hulman Classic Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) June 9, 2004 -- Jay Drake has undoubtedly turned some heads in his Menards Infiniti Pro Series debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week. Making his series debut, qualifying for the Futuba Freedom 100 and firmly establishing himself as a contender have been at the top of the agenda. As if that wasn't enough fun for one week, Drake also did double duty Saturday, as he competed in the Futuba Freedom 100 and then traveled to the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track to compete in the Tony Hulman Classic USAC National Sprint Car event. Drake, who qualified his No. 25 Vital Express sponsored machine in fourth position for the Futuba Freedom 100, posted a two-lap qualifying run average of 189.192 mph around the 2.5-mile oval. His speed initially broke the standing Menards Infiniti Pro Series mark set in 2003 by Ed Carpenter before driver Thiago Medeiros topped the speed charts at 189.274 mph. Solidly in the show, Drake is extremely pleased with the team's efforts. "Just to come here and get to drive around this racetrack, it's a dream come true for me," Drake said. "Even it it's just temporarily, you know, to come here and qualify for a race and have them say, 'It's a new track record,' that's something you dream about as a little boy, and you never really think it's going to happen in any form.

  • Exhibit Narrative by Brent Abercrombie and Laura Williams
    Exhibit Narrative by Brent Abercrombie and Laura Williams Take a drive down memory lane with the Indiana State Library this April 19th through June 30th as we highlight the Indianapolis 500’s greatest races. Terrific Ten: Remarkable Races in Indy 500 History is a free exhibit that examines ten noteworthy years from the race’s history: 1911, 1936, 1946, 1964, 1965, 1977, 1982, 1992, 2006, and 2011. Each year represented something memorable and defined a particular era in racing history. Highlight- ing resources available at the Indiana State Library, as well as a few items on loan from the library’s avid racing fan and collector Ron Rose, the Indianapolis 500 exhibit details the history of the race through old photographs and newspaper articles. Each article depicts a noteworthy event from the 500’s past. Utilizing articles from the Indianapolis Star, available at the State Library, the exhibit begins with the in- augural race held May 30, 1911. This contest saw Ray Harroun, driving his unique Marmon “Wasp,” emerge victorious after six hours and forty-two minutes. The race proved to be wildly popular and ce- ment the city of Indianapolis as a racing destination. As years went by, the Indianapolis 500 brought newfound fame to drivers and created traditions that continue today. Following his third 500 victory in 1936, Louis Meyer began the ceremonial drinking of a bottle of milk after victory. The Indianapolis 500 embarked on a new era in racing beginning in 1946. The 500 race was on a four year hiatus during World War II. There was concern that the race would not start up again or reach the previous height of popularity it had before the war.
